The Binary Burr is a classic Bill Cutler design. It was awarded a First Prize at the 2003 IPP Puzzle Design Competition.
Eric's comments at time of production:-
"Construction of this puzzle was tricky. The humidity in my workshop was fluctuating wildly, so I opened up the tolerances more than I usually do to make sure the final product wouldn't bind up or get stuck. The good news is that I was successful there - this puzzle should work in all humidity conditions. The bad news is that the puzzle turned out looser than I would have liked, having perhaps .035 inch cumulative tolerance variation. In practice this means that while the puzzle looks and functions fine, it's a little looser in the hands than my normal standards."
I sold this puzzle a year or so ago and the buyer returned it as he felt that it was "so loose it felt like it would fall apart". It is too good a design to ever fall apart but the truth is that it IS a loose fit. It rattles! But it functions perfectly well. All moves to disassemble can be made using only gravity and turning the puzzle to the appropriate orientation - which I find quite satisfying. Please take all this into account when bidding. Caveat emptor!
